Characterization of Some Efficient Cellulase Producing Bacteria Isolated from Pulp and Paper Mill Effluent Contaminated Soil

Characterization of Bacteria Degrading Petroleum Derivatives Isolated from Contaminated Soil and Water

Influence of lignin, pentachlorophenol and heavy metal on antibiotic resistance of pathogenic bacteria isolated from pulp paper mill effluent contaminated river water.

Pulp paper mill pollutants are the major source of aquatic contamination having metals, lignin and chlorophenols. Study was conducted to see the effect of these contaminants on antibiotic resistance pattern of isolated bacteria. Pulp paper effluents were evaluated for its physico-chemical properties i.e, BOD 72143 +/- 164.81 to 22.32 +/- 2.48, COD 213136 +/- 583.59 to 60.40 +/- 6.34, total phen...

Treatment of paper and pulp mill effluent by coagulation.

Pulp and paper mill effluent is highly polluting and is a subject of great environmental concern. In the present research we studied the removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and colour from paper mill effluent, using the coagulation process. A batch coagulation study was conducted using various coagulants such as aluminium chloride (AlCl3), polyaluminium chloride (PAC) and copper sulphate (C...

Impact of pulp and paper mill effluent on physico-chemical properties of soil

Water requirement to meet agriculture, domestic, industrial and other demands indicate the need for regeneration of waste water. Industrial waste water is being used in dry areas. Waste water of pulp and paper industry (brown with unpleasant smell) is usually alkaline in nature, has high suspended solids, total solids, COD, BOD and toxic odorous substances. It was observed in the study areas th...
